Very helpful customer service

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: I've been using BookyWay ever since I started my business and it has always been relatively easy for both me and my clients.

Pros:

Great value for money, easy to use for both administrators and clients, and extremely helpful customer service, I can't thank those guys enough. Very responsive and reliable, they'll respond to every query and answer all of the questions that people who aren't great at tech, might have.

Cons:

I manage the timetables for an exercise club and it would help if I could just copy the whole week's timetable to the next week, rather than add classes one by one. I know I can schedule for the month ahead, but it would help if I could copy one of the previous weeks or months cause the classes change sometimes.

Thanks for your review and your suggestions about better timetable management. We will consider it in our development roadmap.

Easy to use Booking System for customers

5.0 last year

Comments: Very good customer service. I have e-mailed on many occasions and got all problems solved

Pros:

Its so simple and easy to use. Gives my clients flexibility to book onto classes and unsubscribe if they change their mind.

Cons:

I would love to be able to have all my members birthday's on the system so that I can easily see who has Birthday's each month. I would like to send a group e-mail to all the clients on the system at once, it currently doesn't allow you to send to everyone. I would also like to use my own pictures, it would be far more personal having group pictures of the clients who come to the class.

The ultimate business saver

5.0 last year

Comments: After looking through a few apps BookyWay was the only one which covered all my needs. It has all the features I need and it is easy to set up and be used by my clients.

Pros:

The creation of the calendar has been a real help for me and the addition of their workouts on the software as well.

Cons:

Not having the option to cancel an appointment on a course without having the rest of the weeks also canceled.

Invaluable booking system

5.0 last year

Comments: I started using BookyWay during the COVID pandemic due to restrictions in the fitness industry. I have been a small gym owner for 25 years and this has been one of the most valuable tools I have introduced into my centre for class control and client communication.

Pros:

Easy to use. Choice of language. Clear insight into daily/weekly bookings. Reasonably priced.

Cons:

At times the software can run a little slow and be a little ‘ jumpy’ Very limited choice of exercises for client personal programme.

Small improvements can make this much better

4.0 last year

Comments: It does the job I need which is create a timteable and allow customers to book into classes. The customers find it easy to use. But the admin side for making changes is a little poor and can be frustrating.

Pros:

For the customer the app is great and easy to use

Cons:

For admin it's a bit of nightmare making changes, especially if you notice a small mistake on a recurring class and then you have to go delete the class and renter everything. A feature such as allowing changes for all future classes like Google calender would be ideal. Also most changes need to be done on a pc as the phone browser is not very good. An app for the admin would also be great.

Great Booking System

4.0 last year

Comments: Free to start and set up and use. Easy to add courses and classes. Ease of use for members via mobile app or computer. Fairly cheap after initial free trial period to continue to add new members.

Pros:

Easiliy accessible via Mobile App, and computer. Ease of use for members and for instructor to add classes and courses.

Cons:

Would like it so that either parent (especially in split households) can book their child. Two parents/carerers per child.

It's easy to learn and use, both for administrators and members.

Easy to use with user friendly interface

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Once you sign up, it is easy to get your email and password set up to be in the App quickly. The app is easily accessible on your phone and can send you reminders you have scheduled an event.

Cons:

I wish there were more hovers over txt to direct you what to do. It is very user friendly but for first time users, it would be nice to have on-screen directions.

La migliore app per gestire le prenotazioni

5.0 last year

Comments: Sono molto soddisfatta in generale. L'applicazione è semplice, ma completa. Posso gestire tutta una serie di operazioni da sola, con pochissimo tempo tengo tutto in ordine, mi aiuta anche nella gestione dei pagamenti e degli abbonamenti. Inoltre non ha costi fissi, si paga un euro per ogni nuovo cliente inserito. Un bel vantaggio. Quando ho avuto bisogno di supporto, l'assistenza è stata rapida, efficiente ed ho trovato cortesia e disponibilità anche ad accogliere suggerimenti e richieste.

Pros:

Oltre alla gestione delle prenotazioni, è molto utile per tenere traccia delle scadenze, delle preferenze dei clienti e consente vari livelli di utilizzo, a seconda delle esigenze. Comodissimo il link diretto per le videolezioni, la casella delle note contenute all'interno della lezione stessa per comunicazioni specifiche

Cons:

Alcuni passaggi potrebbero essere più snelli, a volte dà problemi con il calendario: tornando indietro sballa la data e ,se non si fa attenzione, si rischia di fare modifiche indesiderate. Altre volte cambia lingua inspiegabilmente. Nella tabella della ricerca delle prenotazioni, sarebbe utile poter inserire anche i minuti oltre all'ora. Se devo cercare la lezione delle 18.15, mi elenca tutte quelle che iniziano tra le 18 e le 19. Un altro problema è non poter modificare una lezione o un piccolo gruppo di lezioni, ma bisogna cancellare tutto e rifare da capo.

App utilissima per Associazioni Sportive Dilettantistiche

5.0 last year

Comments: Come riportato nella sezione vantaggi, la app si è rivelata particolarmente utile in periodo di pandemia, in cui è necessario rispettare le normative legate al contenimento dei contagi, emanate non solo dal governo ma nel caso della nostra associazione, anche dalla federazione sportiva a cui siamo affiliati e dal Comune che ci consente di utilizzare le proprie strutture.

Pros:

L'utilizzo della app ha decisamente semplificato la gestione delle presenze nelle sessioni di allenamento indoor (c/o Palazzetto dello Sport Comunale) in questo periodo di pandemia, in cui è necessario fornire al Comune l'elenco delle persone in caso si verifichino dei contagi. Tramite la reportistica della app, in modo semplice e veloce, è possibile scaricare gli elenchi occorrenti. Inoltre, la app risulta molto comoda per tenere sotto controllo le scadenze dei soci (es. visite mediche), il totale delle ore da pagare al Comune per l'utilizzo della struttura indoor. L'interfaccia risulta gradevole a livello grafico e soprattutto molto intuitiva, a oggi comprende tutte le funzioni necessarie per gestire la nostra associazione sportiva. Semplice non solo la parte amministrativa, anche i nostri soci che la usano tramite smartphone non hanno rilevato problemi di nessun tipo. Il collegamento alla app è stato integrato facilmente anche sul sito web dell'associazione.

Cons:

Se proprio devo trovare una mancanza, che comunque incide pochissimo sul mio giudizio, è relativa alla personalizzazione degli sfondi app: avrei preferito avere la possibilità di caricare delle immagini personali, invece è possibile scegliere solo tra quelle proposte dal sistema.

les points forts et les améliorations à apporter

5.0 last year

Comments: nous pouvons enfin mettre en place un système de réservation pour nos cours collectifs

Pros:

La simplicité d'utilisation est très appréciable de plus nous pouvons mettre autant de fiches client que nous voulons nous pouvons également mettre un quota de réservation hebdomadaire pratique lorsque nous proposons ce types d'abonnement.

Cons:

c'est dommage que les adhérents n'ont pas la même visibilité pour le planning que nous (sous forme de planning avec des couleurs) l'application pour les adhérents est très bien mais c'est dommage qu'il n'y a pas les couleurs que nous prenons pour le planning cela permettrait d'avoir une meilleurs visibilité pour les adhérents. De plus il serait interessant d'avoir un quota mensuel et un quota de séances tout simplement par exemple pour les personnes ne souhaitants pas prendre d'abonnement mais juste à la séance car l'idée des crédit est très bien mais pas forcement pratique. enfin il serait avantageux de mettre en place un système de messagerie afin d'envoyer des message à l'ensemble des personnes ou a une personne sans avoir à passer par le planning ou l'info du jour

Consigliatissimo ma migliorabile

4.0 last year

Pros:

Prodotto molto semplice per gli utenti, economico. Consigliatissimo per situazioni "semplici"

Cons:

Mi piacerebbe un incremento delle funzionalità per l'amministratore. - Possibilità di avere crediti diversi. Nel mio specifico caso il mio studio ha corsi di più discipline con costi diversi, ma essendoci un solo tipo di credito non so bene come evitare che chi acquista un credito per un tipo di lezione poi si iscriva ad un altra lezione più o meno costosa. - Più elasticità nella modifica delle lezioni. Per modificare lezioni con utenti iscritti è obbligatorio prima cancellare tutti, effettuare la modifica e re iscrivere tutti. Si intasano i clienti di mail. Se si potesse permettere la modifica senza la cancellazione sarebbe l'ideale. - Modifica delle lezioni singole facilitata. Se devo cambiare l'orario o il numero di posti disponibili definitivamente sul lungo periodo, devo farlo lezione per lezione. Sarebbe comodissimo poter selezionare tutte le lezioni da modificare e poi procedere con una sola modifica valida per tutte.

Il level-up di cui avevo bisogno

4.0 last year

Pros:

La prima cosa per la quale ho utilizzato BookyWay è stato l'unire in unico posto i miei clienti digitali (da corsi on-demand e livestreaming) e clienti con presenza in studio. Ho eliminato tessere e tabelle per il mantenimento della presenza, ho un sistema di crediti e costi univoco e comprensibile. Il vantaggio principale è lo scalo automatico dei crediti ad iscrizione, inoltre il poter andare indietro nel tempo per vedere gli iscritti alla lezione.

Cons:

Distinguerei le opzioni per le lezioni virtuali tra livestream (con orario fisso) e on-demand (con magari accessibilità di 24h) suddividendo o magari rendendo evidente nella lista corsi la distinzione tra classi in presenza e classi virtuali (magari con un tab separato oppure un filtro).

scadenza da aggiunere

5.0 last year

Pros:

La facilità di utilizzo, la disponibilità nell'accogliere suggerimenti e la velocità nel metterli in atto.

Cons:

Andrebbe migliorata la versione da browser mobile per gli amministratori, è scomodo dover fare il login ad ogni accesso. Sarebbe utile inserire, oltre alle scadenze dell'abbonamento e del certificato medico, anche quella ddel tesseramento annuale (in modo che fino a quando non viene rinnovato non sia possibile prenotare)

Fantastica e intuitiva

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Ho radicalmente cambiato il modo di gestire la parte amministrativa, risparmiando tempo ed energie. Gli abbonamenti con questo software sono tenuti sempre sotto controllo e aggiornati; per le prenotazioni alle lezioni funziona benissimo e senza questa applicazione la gestione delle presenze sarebbe stata molto complicata. La condivisione dei media permette di creare un filo diretto con i clienti e non disperdere il materiale.

Pros:

Risponde a tutte le esigenze amministrative e gestionali, facile da utilizzare sia per i gestori che per i clienti, ottima assistenza. Qualsiasi modifica o idee di sviluppo vengono tenute in considerazione e cercano sempre di venire incontro a qualsiasi esigenza.

Cons:

Non c’è nulla da segnalare al momento, sono sempre aggiornati con le problematiche attuali.
